Does the institution have a local offsets program through which the institution seeks to offset its greenhouse gas emissions by implementing projects that reduce GHG emissions in the local community?:
No

A brief description of the program:

The Cal Poly Pomona Climate Action Plan calls for the purchase of offsets for 100% of air travel emissions, on an annual basis, by the year 2030. The plan also calls for the use of technological innovations, such as teleconferencing, to be used in place of air travel where possible.
(Benchmark #6, CAP 2009).

The University is currently determining which offsets strategies are in our best interest. Local offset programs are being considered.
